  2. Centre of Expertise for Municipal Youth Work Kanuuna • Centre of Expertise for Municipal Youth Work Kanuuna (Cannon) • Kanuuna is a municipal youth work developer and trustee serving the youth work services of all municipalities and cities. For youth work experts, Kanuuna offers opportunities to network and participate in the development of municipal youth work by organising events, seminars and training sessions throughout Finland. • Objectives • Kanuuna is one of the Centres of Expertise for Municipal Youth Work selected by the Ministry of Education and Culture for 2018–2019. The objective of Kanuuna is to enhance the wider utilisation of good practices in municipal youth work, strengthen the know-how in the field in terms of youth policy issues and develop the documentation related to youth work and the demonstration of impact both on a municipal and a national scale. • Background • The centre of expertise is backed by the Kanuuna network, which has been in operation since 2006. Up until the end of 2017, the target group of Kanuuna consisted of municipalities with more than 40,000 residents, and the network was made up of the youth services of 28 of the largest Finnish cities. The centre of expertise model adopted in 2018 expanded the target group of Kanuuna to welcome smaller municipalities. • Do you want to know moreabout Centres of Expertise? Youth Act?

  3. Networks areKanuuna`sstonefoundation • Peer support, tips and national development work • Kanuuna arranges nearly 1600 training days yearly (seminars, trainings, network meetings) • Experts in various methods from all over Finland meet each other and share their experiences and good practices among peers in the national development networks coordinated by Kanuuna. The networks have a central role in developing youth work, based on both expertise stemming from experience and information collected through scientific methods. • Some of the Kanuuna networks have already been established years ago, and others only in the spring of 2018 during the ‘Laatua ja menetelmiä’ (quality and methods) seminar organised by Kanuuna in Tampere. More networks are established as the need arises and when prompted by feedback. The objective is to provide peer arenas to support people in their work and offer access to the development work. www.nuorisokanuuna.fi

  9. In September 2018, the Equality network of the Centre of Expertise for Municipal Youth Work Kanuuna met in Hailuoto. The Equality network often chooses to meet somewhere secluded, where the participants can focus on the theme of equality, far from the turmoils of the world. Hailuoto is an island and a separate municipality near the city of Oulu in northern Finland. A fabulous place for a network meeting! www.nuorisokanuuna.fi

  10. The planning of the network meeting in Hailuotowas started already during the previous meeting in Rovaniemi (September 2017), at which time the time, place, and main themes of the next meeting were agreed on.

In addition to Kanuuna employees, people from the Youth Services of the City of Oulu participated in the practical arrangements. www.nuorisokanuuna.fi

At the network meeting in September 2018, the participants shared their everyday lives with their peers, heard about new operating models, programmes, and projects, and developed equal youth work together. There were over 20 participants from municipal youth services around Finland, the Finnish League for Human Rights, and the Peace Education Institute. The programme for the network meeting was tight (see the daily programmein next dias ).
